Traits

Dive-bomb. When the Slug emerges from a pentadrone, it will fall up to 500 feet per turn. The slug can begin flying at any time during its fall. The slug can avoid any fall damage by immediately burrowing or swimming 10 feet under the surface where it lands.

Customized. When the pendadrone begins making a slug, it chooses a type for the slug. Each type has a different detonation effect, described under Actions.

Autodetonate. If the slug's hp drops to 0, it immediately Detonates. The cryogenic slug aims its cone in the last direction it moved.

Remote Controlled. The slug can’t be compelled to act contrary to its pentadrone's instructions.

Disposable. The swarm disintegrates into dust one minute after emerging from the pentadrone (after completing its tenth turn).

Actions

Detonate. The slug explodes. Each type of slugs has a different Detonation effect, described below:

-Cryogenic Slug: Each creature in a 30 foot cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 4d8 cold damage and is Frozen. A Frozen creature is Petrified, with vulnerability to fire damage and bludgeoning damage. The creature also takes 2d8 cold damage at the start of each of its turns until it is thawed. It can be thawed by taking any amount of fire damage, or by succeeding on the saving throw which it repeats at the end of each of its turns.) On a successful saving throw, a creature takes 2d8 frozen damage and is not Frozen. The area of the cone becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute.

-Incendiary Slug: Each creature within 20 feet of the Volcanic Slug must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes takes 8d6 fire damage and catches on fire. On a success, a creature takes 4d8 fire damage and does not catch on fire. The fire spreads around corners and lights the whole area on fire, igniting all flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried. For 1 minute, any creature that enters the area or starts its turn in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or catch on fire. A creature that has caught on fire takes 1d10 fire damage immediately, and an additional 1d10 fire damage at the start of each of its turns until someone uses an Action to extinguish them.

-Concussive Slug: Each creature within 15 feet of the slug must make a DC 15 Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failure, a creature takes 4d6 force damage, is knocked Prone, and is stunned for 1 minute. On a success, a creature takes 2d6 force damage and is not Prone or Stunned.

-Poison Slug: Everything within 30 feet of the Slug is covered in a thick, purplish cloud of gas. The area is heavily obscured. The cloud remains for 1 minute before dispersing. Each creature that is completely within the cloud at the start of its turn must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be Poisoned. Creatures may repeat this saving throw at the end of each of their turns to end the poisoning. Creatures that are immune to poison automatically succeed on this saving throw. As long as a creature is Poisoned from this gas, they take 2d6 poison damage at the start of each of their turns and must spend their Action for each turn retching and reeling. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the cloud after 4 rounds. A strong wind (at least 20 miles per hour) disperses it after 1 round.

 

Description

One of the types of creatures produced within a pentadrone's internal factory. A slug-like creature with a powerful drill on its head, allowing it to burrow with ease. Beneath the hard layered plates of the the slug's shell lies an advanced explosive device, able to produce a variety of powerful effects based on the pentadrone's needs at the time of the slug's construction. The slug is sometimes dropped as a bomb directly on a target, and other times speeds towards its target under the surface, emerging just in time to explode.
